facing us in the 21st century, recognizing both the tremendous progress made to date as well the
continuing challenges/threats that lie ahead. We have read/perused the following documents:

In an essay of around 1000-1250 words (roughly 4-5 double spaced pages), please summarize
your main 3-4 take-aways from these readings. As with any essay, please make sure to start
with a general Introduction and end with an overall conclusion reflecting on the relevance of
these readings from your own perspective. There are no correct answers. I am interested in
your ability to think deeply about global problems, to formulate your ideas coherently and
persuasively, and to link them to the issues you care about.
Each piece of work is a reflection of you.
Accordingly, you should always strive to do your very
best, paying close attention to the following:
The essay should be based on your readings and include references to the sources you
used. In-text referencing is sufficient for the purposes of this essay, e.g. (SDGs, p.33)
The essay should substantiate (i.e. provide evidence for) any general statements.
Please avoid repetition and circular arguments.
Please avoid sloppy, imprecise and incorrect us of words or unclear statements.
The paper should be properly formatted and be free of grammatical and spelling errors.
